NOt sure, but still sounds like video ram exhaustion, if I read your symptoms right. How much video ram do you have, and how low resolution did you go?

Hello,
If I lower the resolution the FXGLViewer is still black and flickery.
But I saw that when I looked on a video that window also was black
sometimes.
Probably it's just someting wrong with the graphics driver.
